Strategies for conserving native salmonid populations at risk from nonnative fish invasions: tradeoffs in using barriers to upstream movement (2006, background): “Although invasions of nonnative salmonids can sometimes be eradicated (Moore and others 1983, Knapp and Matthews 1998), especially if caught in the early stages (Simberloff 2003), neither hybridization nor introduction of parasites or pathogens to a native salmonid population is usually reversible.”
The Invasion of Barred Owls and its Potential Effect on the Spotted Owl: a Conservation Conundrum (2007, background): “Such interaction studies could provide some useful information for managers once it has been demonstrated experimentally that barred owls are causing spotted owl declines (Simberloff 2003).”
The early detection of and rapid response (EDRR) to invasive species: a conceptual framework and federal capacities assessment (2019, background): “Although the Federal Interagency Committee for the Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds (FICMNEW 2003) and Westbrooks (2004) do not define EDRR, they provide a series of statements about EDRR that contrast with other presentations of the concept (Table 2).”
What can DNA tell us about biological invasions? (2012, background): “Although the motivation for understanding the patterns and processes responsible for population structure has virtue (but see Simberloff 2003 ), application of population genetic methods to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for patterns of variation have limited utility.”
Alien Invertebrates and Fish in European Inland Waters (2009, background): “Recognizing these threats certainly lays the strongest and possibly the only ethical basis for the concern that scientists, laypeople, and institutions have today about the problem of introduced species (Simberloff 2003).”
When does invasive species removal lead to ecological recovery? Implications for management success (2018, background): “are not always practical or optimal, given that they take time and are costly (Zavaleta 2002; Simberloff 2003).”
Human‐assisted dispersal of alien freshwater fish in Australia (2004, background): “It is clear that once an alien species is established, eradication is difficult and rarely achieved, with eradication attempts often consuming vast amounts of resources (Moyle 1999; Koehn et al. 2000; Simberloff 2003).”
Introduced species policy, management, and future research needs (2005, background): “Discussion For eradication and control programs, many of the most effective strategies used to date entail brute-force, scorched-earth methods rather than sophisticated science (Simberloff 2003).”
A conservation paradox for the 21st century: The European wild rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, an invasive alien and an endangered native species (2008, background): “It is ironic that we are simultaneously neither able to conserve (in its native range) nor eliminate (in its introduced range) a species for which we know almost everything about its biology and natural history (cf. Simberloff, 2003).”
Wild-bird trade and exotic invasions: a new link of conservation concern? (2008, background): “2000), are rarely effective (except in isolated areas or before alien species have spread too widely; Simberloff 2003), and may have a greater negative impact on native communities than on the non-native species targeted (Smith et al.”
Invasive ring‐necked parakeets Psittacula krameri in Belgium: habitat selection and impact on native birds (2007, unknown): “species starts to spread (Simberloff 2002).”
We can eliminate invasions or live with them. Successful management projects (2008, background): “Many successful eradication and maintenance management campaigns are decidedly low-tech and rely on massive use of manual labor (Simberloff 2003).”
Environmental DNA (eDNA) detects the invasive crayfishes Orconectes rusticus and Pacifastacus leniusculus in large lakes of North America (2017, background): “This includes surveillance approaches that are sensitive enough to detect new invasions early when eradication or containment efforts are likely to be most successful and cost-effective (Simberloff, 2003; Vander Zanden et al., 2010).”
